Chapter 212 You're Not the Shortest Record

The next two days passed quietly

Bella felt much better, and the group began their journey back home.

While they had departed with laughter and chatter, the atmosphere on the return trip was noticeably different.

The most significant change was with Lan and Celine. They used to be inseparable, but now, they sat on

opposite sides.

Coline knew there wouldn't be another chance once they returned, so she deliberately glanced at Jan Eventually,

Jan responded nonchalantly, "You're right. | didn't take your words to heart anyway. | was never planning on

dating you for long to begin with."

She felt choked up by his words and was unsure how to continue the conversation. After a moment, she bit her

lip and said, "But | don't want to break t so soon. We haven't even been dating for a month."

He grinned mischievously. "You're not the shortest record. The shortest is three days, so don't overthink it.

There's no need. But you should've known from the start that if | took you out, I'd ensure you got hsafely.

Your worries were unnecessary. Once the plane lands, we're done."

With that, he closed his eyes and prepared for the long journey ahead, which would take several hours.

Celine took the hint and moved away. This was her own doing. She wasn't upset about being dumped so quickly

but rather t more benefits from lan. After all, he was the only heir of the Clarke family, and she had hoped to

lan and Celine took separate cabs to leave while Leonard drove Lia home. Dominic had gotten someone to pick

them up. After hours on the plane, everyone felt fatigued and only exchanged brief pleasantries as they said

their goodbyes. Once back at Miller Manor, Bella finally felt at ease. Indeed, hsweet home.

Knowing they were returning that day, Sylvia had prepared a lavish dinner, even setting aside a portion for

Perhaps due to her gunshot wound not fully healing, Bella didn't have much of an appetite. During dinner, she

only drank a bit of the easily digestible chowder.

As she set down her bowl and cullery, Dominic furrowed his brows and asked, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling

well again? Is your appetite off?"

His gentle yet concerned questions made her feel a bit uneasy. She mumbled something about not being hungry

and retreated to her room.

Puzzled by this, Sylvia cautiously asked Dominic, "Mr. Miller, is the food not to Ms. Jones' taste? She barely ate."

meticulously noted his requests, finding his behavior somewhat strange. He had never been this detail-oriented

in caring for Bella before.

Hearing the car pull away downstairs, Bella grabbed a change of clothes and headed to the bathroom. She

needed to take a proper shower. With her wound now scalled over, she could wash carefully. If Dominic were

around, he definitely wouldn't allow her to move around on her own.

Sylvia followed her into the bathroom. "Ms. Jones, are you going to take a shower? Can | help you?"

Bella looked at her in surprise. "No need... It's just a shower. | can handle it myself."
